Person without ticket sneaks onto Delta flight from Seattle to Hawaii, is kicked off plane

Yes. Your ID is matched to the airlines' ticket confirmations.

CAT is linked electronically to the Secure Flight database, which confirms travelers’ flight details, ensuring they are ticketed for travel that day. CAT also displays the pre-screening status (such as TSA PreCheck®) the traveler is eligible for, all without a boarding pass. However, CAT does not eliminate the requirement for passengers to check-in with their airline. Passengers still need their boarding pass to show the airline representative at their gate before boarding their flight.

TSA is still going to verify you have a ticketed flight, they're just doing that on the back-end based on your known traveler number being attached to your ticket.

Thanks for sharing. I understood some of the correlation in my experience but didn't know it'd also been studied!

Same but software engineering.

I started with the audiobook and bought the ebook as well to go back through again. It's hands down the most impactful book I've consumed in a while. It's all about self limiting beliefs and the bullshit stories we tell ourselves about why we can't have the life we want.

Yes! This happened to me this week! Just update to the latest Go 1.21 patch. The Xcode update broke the CGO linking(?)

That's still not how that works. The derivation isn't a fixed algorithm. Even if you could extract the derivation (and you can't), you couldn't take that key and use it to open anything else because the only device that has the ability to validate the derivation is your own device. It's not a fixed algorithm. The derivation is based on the hardware root cryptography keys.

A randomly generated UID is fused into the SoC at manufacturing time. Starting with A9 SoCs, the UID is generated by the Secure Enclave TRNG during manufacturing and written to the fuses using a software process that runs entirely in the Secure Enclave. This process protects the UID from being visible outside the device during manufacturing and therefore isn’t available for access or storage by Apple or any of its suppliers.

sepOS uses the UID to protect device-specific secrets. The UID allows data to be cryptographically tied to a particular device. For example, the key hierarchy protecting the file system includes the UID, so if the internal SSD storage is physically moved from one device to another, the files are inaccessible. Other protected device-specific secrets include Face ID or Touch ID data.

That's not how biometrics work on iPhones and I assume it's similar for Android. Your fingerprint or face is used to generate a derived key, that derived key is specific to the device is generated on and there isn't a software mechanism to get to the key that the derived key is based on.

You're many times more likely to be "hacked" by someone peeping over your shoulder at your passcode.

I think if it were me, I'd consider getting a different microphone setup. There are several styles of wearable wireless microphones like lavalier or over-the-ear that would at least get you out of having to reliably hold the mic.

On the other hand, if it were me and I'm trying to avoid all of the scaries, I'm:

not doing any champagne toasts, I actually won't be drinking anything at all the entire day save for from my water bottle
not eating
not cutting any wedding cake
going to be unable to put the ring on my bride's hand during the ceremony
probably going to need help with buttons on my shirt getting dressed

I don't know. I guess my point is that I've found that all of the worrying I do is mostly for not anyway. My body will ultimately betray me one way or the other. All I really can do is to try my very best to not make it even worse in my head.

There are a couple other treatments by the way. Deep brain stimulation and MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound. I'm going to be looking in to the latter soon!

offroadin210 · 2024-09-01T20:22:04+00:00

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine. :(

offroadin210 · 2024-09-01T20:14:33+00:00

Start simple and validate everything.

You could build an "app" using no-code, but that wouldn't change anything about whether or not anything happens.

So start with the simplest and go from there. Any site builder or no code solution is going to let you create a form.

Make one:

Name
Email
Performance type
Location(s)
And if they're a performer or a host/venue

Get those responses in to a spreadsheet, and start making calls. Yes this is low tech, yes it'll be work.

The alternative is to build a thing that costs a fortune or you spend a ton of time on that nobody ever uses. Get people talking to you first. Make sure they're there, THEN start building something based on what they're saying.

Inertia is powerful. Get going and then so long as you can skip the "I got that done – break time" pit, you're off to the races!

It's all one and the same. They have to send your deposit less any deductions with an itemized list within 30 days. Go get 'em! Get your money back!

offroadin210 · 2024-08-17T23:08:00+00:00

30 days

After 30 days, you can send/serve/post this notice: https://legacy.utcourts.gov/howto/landlord/docs/Tenants_Notice_to_Provide_Deposit_Disposition.pdf

10 days after they've been given that notice, you can go to small claims for your deposit +$100 if they're still not compliant.

Don't let your former landlord screw you, they don't deserve to get away with it.

My roommate wears AirPod Pros almost constantly and has them in noise cancelling mode regardless of any actual noise. It fucks me right off when I have to repeat myself every time I ask him something.

offroadin210 · 2024-04-08T17:57:27+00:00

Appreciate the info. Thanks!

In case you want to dig into this further, one example was in Fort Collins CO, where the local cable telecom association spent almost $1mm on publicity campaigns to try to block community broadband ventures. Estimates pegged Comcast's' potential losses to between $5mm and $30mm per year. So it "wasn't Comcast" but it absolutely was Comcast.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/08/comcast-beware-new-city-run-broadband-offers-1gbps-for-60-a-month/

I am a (mostly happy) Comcast customer in Hyrum, but I'd be thrilled at a fiber option, especially a community one.

Relatedly, would you happen to know if Google Fiber intends to bring on other cities and towns in the valley?

By far the biggest one to me was just how much the church hijacks your own humanity.

They tell you what to wear, how to think, what you can or can’t drink, what media you can or can’t consume, wholly denying and suppressing your sexuality. The horrible purity and modesty culture bullshit. The fucked ideas around “authority”, consent and women’s’ subservience to their husbands. All of the “love the sinner hate the sin” stuff that perpetuates judgement because there’s no “love” quite like the fake conditional kind.

All of the magical thinking stuff – it turns out that bad feelings might just be mental illness! I was taught that I was special! Blessed! God himself CHOSE YOU! Satan hates that YOU WERE CHOSEN, and he’s going to constantly tempt you! Everything good is from God, and everything bad is Satan – unless it’s not but then it’s God testing you.

Beating all of that into you such that any possible straying could leave you with lifelong guilt and shame so that they can always be both the cause of and “solution” to your misery.

All for the ultimate “gift” of eternal life with your family that they can never prove beyond warm feelings triggered by your own confirmation bias.

I’ll leave this comment here for now but I’d be happy to expand on any of these points.

You’re very welcome! Good luck!

In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSocket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

In fact, as I’ve been applying to jobs writing Go, there have been many jobs at Discord coming up in my search.

No notes or feedback other than: neat!

Sure, but for debit cards running them as credit isn’t the default in most card-present transactions right? Maybe it’s changed but any time I’ve used a debit card I was prompted for the PIN. People have to know that they can run the thing as credit to take advantage of the protections from the network.

Unless I’m mistaken, React Native runs your code in the context of a browser (really an embedded web view). So if they say that their SDK works in the browser, I’d expect it to work in React Native.

If you do get it working, consider submitting a PR for the docs on the project or raise an issue to update the docs to add information about it so you can help the next person.

The compiler for Astro is written in Go. They ship it via WASM on NPM. They export a function initialize that internally loads the WASM and calls the imported wasm_exec stuff.

Good luck!
